Zeitoun [Hardcover] Eggers, Dave

**Zeitoun by Dave Eggers - Biography/Non-Fiction**

Dave Eggers delivers a gripping true story that'll make you question everything you thought you knew about Hurricane Katrina. Follow Abdulrahman Zeitoun, a Syrian-American painter who stays behind in New Orleans to protect his properties, only to find himself paddling through flooded streets in a canoe, rescuing stranded neighbors. What starts as an act of heroism spirals into a nightmare when he's arrested and detained without charges in post-Katrina chaos.

This powerful biography explores themes of justice, prejudice, and resilience in crisis. Perfect for readers who love compelling true stories, social justice narratives, or anyone curious about the human side of natural disasters. Eggers (yes, the *A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius* guy) crafts an unflinching portrait of American justice gone sideways.

This preloved hardcover from Patina Paperbacks is ready for its next home.
